The owners founded the Fonda Vela in 1987 as a small bed and breakfast, popular because it of its close proximity to the Monteverde Reserve (just over 1 km) and because of the original artworks hanging in many of the common rooms.The hotel has since grown to include 42 rooms, but each room seems to be decorated with as much attention to detail. The owner's father, Paul Smith Sr., is a respected painter in the community and the hotel is used as a vehicle to display his artwork, especially impressive are the walkways between rooms that have plants, paintings and artistic tiled mosaics.
